Free paint software for windows

What ever the name is, it is not so hard to use it. Basically, what you can do with it is cool pictures. You just take one picture as a pattern and a set of smaller pictures that the program will drop over the pattern. Experiment with it and you may achieve interesting results. The program supports transparency, so the pattern can be of any shape. Also read the manual. The program requires DirectX 9.0 and a compatible video card.

Paint.com 2009.1 is an effective program which can modify pictures using drawing tools like Rectangle, Ellipse, Line, Curve, Polygon, Text, Retouch, Magic wand, Transformation.

Drawn shapes can be filled with solid colors, patterns or custom gradients. Images can be processed with built-in filters (Drop shadow, Bevel, Blur, Displace, Color adjustments, Perspective projection), with custom JavaScript filters, or with image filters compatible with Adobe Photoshop.

User interface of the application can be customized by modifying toolbars, changing keyboard accelerators, or assigning actions to mouse gestures. Advanced users can reposition individual windows to completely change the look and feel of the application or develop their own plug-ins and add new drawing tools, fill styles, windows, filters, or codecs.

Major Features:

1. Clean user interface
   • RealWorld Paint.COM can display images using any zoom factor and always shows 100% accurate preview of the drawn shape. Tooltips are displayed throughout the user interface to explain meaning of controls.
   • After a geometric shape is added to an image, control handles appear and users can further adjust the shape. New points can be added to poly-lines, curves and polygons by dragging a handle of an edge.
   • RealWorld Paint.COM allows you to edit pictures with layers and assign effects to every layer. A layer can have for example a bevel effect active giving all shapes a 3D look and feel.
2. Power inside
   • RealWorld Paint.COM has much hidden power under the hood and harbors features unexpected in a freeware image editor. Many of its drawing tools and image filters are able to do gamma-aware blending and color gradient interpolation, producing correct colors by default.
   • A powerful scripting system allows users to greatly extend and customize the functionality of RW Paint.COM using JavaScript. For example the "Create screenshot" command is a scripted function.
   • Beside the ability to use native plug-ins for virtually everything (filters, tool, fills, windows, codecs, storage, ...), RealWorld Paint.COM is also able to use the vast amount of plug-ins compatible with Adobe Photoshop.
3. Nifty features
   • Ordinary applications are boring. RealWorld Paint.COM has a couple of nifty functions, not terribly useful, but fun to use:
   • Invoke commands using mouse gestures - perform a gesture with right mouse button and something (configure it!) happens. Undoing was never easier.
   • Vista glass-like effects - draw semitransparent shapes (using "Xxx with effect" tool) and the editor makes your shape look like a window frame on Windows Vista - it blurs background and adds shadow and reflection.
   • Tool presets - save and quickly restore your favorite gradients, tool settings, or colors.

Enhancements:

• Official support for portability.
• Community-driven translations.
• Online page with tutorials and news.
• Fill, move and lasso tools.
• Minor tweaks to transformation tool.
• Photoshop filter compatibility fix and some minor improvements.

Requirements:

• Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7
• Pentium or compatible; 256MB memory
• Mouse, truecolor display, 20MB HDD
